Waco...

Since the wifey moved to Waco I've been going there every weekend. I expected it to be hard to be away from her but not this hard! So I went this wknd to deliver her g-shock and to take her out for her bday..of course sushi again Lol!

She hooked with me up with an early bday present. We went to Build-A-Bear and she made me a bear so I could sleep with it while we apart. Isn't she cute?!

Sunday after church I got to hang out my little cuz with my nephew, who I have seen in a whiiiiile! He's four now and he's gotten so big! We hit up this Happy Wok for some Asian cuisine before I headed back to Austin. He saw that I was eating with chopsticks and wanted to as well but he was having a little trouble..

...not quite

...even further

finally he just gave up and used his hand WITH the chopsticks

...but he was still happy with the result.

This kid can eat!!

Lucy

SIT!

I have no idea what she's doing right here!

And this is what happens when you don't put the things, fall asleep and forget to put the dog up! $100 bag! I guess I should be happy it was on the zipper tag.

What I eat...

For the past couple of months my eating habits have changed drastically. All I eat now is Asian food, chicken and fish, especially sushi. I don't know what it is but I crave it everyday now. Coincidentally it works well with my new work out regimen, so I guess it's a good look. A couple of pics from the past few visits...

G...?

One of JoJo's bday present finally arrived...

She wanted a red g-shock...so I had to come through for her! I don't even have one of these!!

What it do, what the bidness is?

I've been going strong for the past couple of weeks. Every since JoJo moved to Waco I've been trying to keep myself busy so I don't have time to miss her but it's not working. On top of that I had to take Lucy to Waco to live with her because I won't be able to keep her once school starts..FML! Good news though, the semester started this week which means I'm one semester closer to graduating. I'm at Texas State this semester and will graduate from there, Lord willing. Let's see what else...I haven't been use my camera at all. I haven't felt the urge to take it with me or snap anything. I do however have some pics that I've taken on my camera phone that I will upload soon.

Loso in case you ain't know so!

I just wanna be SUCCESSFUL!

I've been on this journey called college for 5 years now.  In all honesty I should be done by now. First of all I didn't take it as seriously as I should've in the beginning and now that I want to I have come accustom to procrastination.  No matter how many times I say, "I'm going to buckle down and get it done",  I find some way to be distracted.  I hate still being in school...but I have no one to blame but myself!  

I've had to work and go to school since I've been old enough to work.  Got my first job as a junior in high school and  have been juggling a full-time job and school ever since.  So at this point in my life, I'm truly tired of doing both!! If I could give up one, sadly it would be school.  But I want to be successful, baby!  That means no matter how long it takes, or how fed up I get, giving up is not an option.  I have a family to provide for now.  I want kids someday and I want to be able to give them the world and the best way for me to do that is to keep on pushing.  I would be the first male in my family to graduate college, and after all that I've been through I don't want my kids to have to go through the same thing.  The best advice I ever heard about school came from an assistant basketball coach at Baylor.  Coach Driscoll came to my job one day and asked me if I ever thought about trying out for basketball.  I told him, "I have but that's not realistic right now. I have to work and at this rate it'll take me 8 years to graduate."  He looked at me and said, " College is not a race, it's a destination.  No matter how long it takes you to finish, just finish."

I think I'm finally ready to finish.

Damn! My reality just set in.

JoJo moved to Waco yesterday. I thought I would be alright, living apart and everything but last night was harder than I expected. In the days leading up to yesterday, I would constantly tell myself that I'd be fine, blah blah blah in order to not focus on the fact that I was going to be alone. It finally hit me last night when I got back from Waco and it was just me and the dog. I know she's only an hour away and that I'll probably see her every weekend, but the fact that I know she won't be there when I get home sucks!

Timeout

Sometimes in life you have to take a timeout.  Just sit back, let all your cares go and just enjoy life.  So tonight we used one of our timeouts and hit up Maru. Best sushi in town!

These are our "We're going to MARU" faces!

Seaweed salad is the jam!

Decisions, decisions

So I'm at a crossroads right now. JoJo just got a job in Waco as a coach which means she will be moving back to Waco. I on the other hand have a good job here in Austin and I'm about a year away from finishing school. Logically I'm thinking if I leave my job I'd be taking a major risk especially in this current economic climate. If I stay then we'd end up paying two sets of bills and will have to live apart for a year or two. The distance isn't a problem, we'll make it through that. The biggest thing that I'm currently struggling with are the economics of our decision. Every time I come to what I think is the best solution to the problem, the other side of the argument comes back with new perspective.  As of right now,  I think I'll just stay in Austin and reevaluate the situation in December.  

Let me take you out!

The wifey got back in town from her basketball reunion in Houston so I decided to take her out.  We hit happy hour at Ka-Prow, this Sushi bar about 5 minutes from our apt.  It was off pretty good and a nice way to end the weekend.  

Seaweed salad

WOOOOW!

I've never been a Jordan fiend, but these are undeniably DOPE!

Haircut!

I've been holding out on getting another haircut in Austin because I haven't found a GOOD barber yet.  My hair is probably in the worst state it has ever been in! I'm diligently working on getting my waves back!

:(

In there like swimwear!

July 30th @ Stubbs!

I be on it!

WOOOOOOOOOW! Last night was craaazy! Ended up going to Baby A's with one of my co-workers and his girl and we were all tipsy! I was gone early [drinking on an empty stomach=bad idea] and then sobered up after a couple glasses of water and bad food! [NOTE: If you ever go to Baby A's DO NOT EAT THE FOOD! IT's GARBAGE]. JoJo got on it and never got off lol. We both woke up with hangovers this morning, mine not so bad, but I made breakfast and was good to go. Right now, I'm watching the Cubs/Cardinals game waiting on JoJo so we can hit Pluckers with some people from her job. There seems to be this pattern where people like to hang out with us... We're just so COOL!

Work until 5 on a Friday?

No big plans for this weekend. I definitely need to study and then probably do a whoooooole lot of nothing. Right now though I'm about to hit Baby A's with the wifey for some purples! Start the weekend off RIGHT!

I need these!

There have been waaaay too many dunks released and we're only halfway through the year! Anyway these are definitely a DOPE pair....
